Description:
The Virtual Hope Box app was originally developed for military service men and women (and their families) by the US Department of Defense. It contains simple tools to help people with coping, relaxation, distraction and positive thinking.
The app is divided into four main sections:
– Distract Me has four types of short games you can play to distract yourself from negative thoughts and feelings. Although the games don’t come with any instructions, but aren’t difficult to figure out. The photo puzzle is nice because you can choose your own photo or an image of an inspirational saying to use as the puzzle.
– Inspire Me has lots of inspirational quotes or you can add your own quotes.
– Relax Me is an interactive feature with a variety of exercises to help you manage stress such as controlled breathing, meditation and muscle relaxation.
– Coping Tools allows you to create coping cards and plan activities. The coping cards help you identify specific situations or triggers that you struggle with. You can identify the problem, the emotions you feel when that problem comes up, and skills you can use to cope.
